Hire a servant?
Since things are so cheap in China now, is it possible to a hire a servant during your trip to help fetch things like tickets, meals etc.? Has anyone done this lately?
Thanks!

Lol also. Either we have the wrong century, or someone who doesn't know about concierges and room service.

lol - I was just going to post that you can get a concierge to do almost anything for you, but not cheaply.
